Here's the last installment in my discoveries from my most recent visit to Universal Studios Hollywood's film and TV archive exhibit on January 23, 2014, this British police uniform and duffel bag prop is from 2007's Hot Fuzz starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

Annie Hardinge was Costume Designer on Hot Fuzz and also for Shaun of the Dead, which also starred Simon Pegg. I believe I may have seen this particular assortment of movie memorabilia on display at the same time as original costumes and props from The World's End, but it was crammed into a smaller display case at ArcLight Hollywood cinema and without any clarification of who the outfit belonged to.

In the cop buddy comedy, Simon Pegg stars as a hot-shot London police officer named 'Nicholas Angel', who's transferred to a sleepy English village where he uncovers the truth behind a series of local 'accidents' with the aid of Nick Frost's 'Police Constable Danny Butterman'.
